Iran taking ‘too long to negotiate a deal’: Trump

Hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan came under Iranian fire, US President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that Iran was taking “too long to negotiate a deal” and that “now they will have to pay the price.”

It wasn’t clear what exactly that would mean, but the back-and-forth strikes Wednesday again raised the question of how much pressure the deal can take before it cracks, reports the AP.

The exchange of fire was the second time this week that such strikes have tested the ceasefire after Iran and Israel targeted each other on Monday.
